Louboutin wins case against Flemish far right
17/10/2013
The poster promoted by the campaign group "Women against Islamisation" showed the legs of Anke Van dermeersch, a former Miss Belgium and now a lawmaker for the far-right Vlaams Belang.
Beside the image, a key showed what it said was Islam's view of a woman, according to the length of her skirt, from "sharia conform" at floor level to "whore" just above the knee and "stoning" at the top of the thigh.
Louboutin said it had not authorised the use of its shoes in the campaign and that their inclusion damaged its image.
The group must remove all its posters within 24 hours, the court in Antwerp ruled.
In polls released on Friday, Vlaams Belang was backed by around 10% of Flemish voters.
